What was considered to be a marquee signing then wouldn't appear so today. Those signings weren't eye catching then, they just proved to be astute.That's fair comment. We didn't know too much about those players before they arrived although Sod did with Stock, O'Connor and Hayter with the Bournemouth connection. We knew of Hayter's record hat-trick but he turned out to have more to his game than just goals and turned out to be well worth the money. Gareth Roberts was already here having a good lower league pedigree at Tranmere and Wales. We knew bugger all about Mills when he first arrived from Man City on loan.Any number of signings we've had recently had just as much potential, and may do still if the ingredients are right.

Yes he did.
